Connecting to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet Port
Caution To prevent an IP address conflict, do not connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to the network until
the initial configuration is complete. For configuration instructions, see the Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI
Configuration Guide or the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide.
The MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port is autosensing and has an RJ-45 interface. (See Figure 3-3.) You can
use this port to access and manage the switch by its IP address, such as through the Cisco Fabric
Manager.

To connect the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port to an external hub, switch, or router, follow these steps:
Step 1 Connect the appropriate modular cable to the MGMT 10/100 Ethernet port:
• Use modular, RJ-45, straight-through UTP cables to connect the 10/100 management port to an
Ethernet switch port or hub.
• Use a cross-over cable to connect to a router interface.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the device.
